ISTANBUL (AA) - Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced on Thursday that his country received the last tranche of the EU’s €18 billion ($19.8 billion) macro-financial assistance package for 2023.

Symyhal said on Telegram that Ukraine received the last €1.5 billion tranche from the EU, adding: “These funds help us maintain economic stability and fulfill our social obligations.”

In December 2022, the European Council declared that it adopted a macro-financial assistance package worth €18 billion aiming to finance the country’s “immediate needs” for 2023.
